Farmer Glllette's Hobby.

M1DDLETowN, N. Y, June 13.-Har-
ris Gillette, q we'll to do old farmer of
Sidney, has the hobby of strictly govern
ing all his doings by the phases of the
moon. Interviewed on the subject, he
unfolded his creed as follows:
IT always go by the moons changes,
because then know I'm right. Isee d.
great deal in the papers about how to
choose COW, but 1 can tell you rule
worth all the rest. If COW is born when
the horns of the moon point down, then
she will be good mixer, but if born
when the horns point up, then she will
run to nothing but skin and bone. l
always butcher cattle and hogs in the
new of the moon, and then I have quar-
ter more meat. always SOW and plant
in the new of the moon and have better
crops than my neighbors. Ialways build
fences when the horns of the moon point
up. and put on the stakes and rides when
the horns point down, then the two pull
together and my fences never fall down.
Our school house, contrary to my advice,
was rooted in the full of the moon, and
it leaks badly, and last winter all the
children had the measles. / once attend.
ed camp meeting and got converted in
the dark of the moon, but soon back
sided wonderfully. Since then l got
converted in the light of the moon, and
nv religion has stuck to me ever since."

Millions in Danger.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE count OF
cash in the United States treasury, which
is now in progress, has developed the fact
that the vault capacity is entirely inade-
quate for the safe handling of silver.
The silver vault was filled to its utmost
capacity some time ago, and their still
remained about 100000 standard dollars
which, for want of better place, were
piled in bags in the passageway leading
to the vault. In making the count these
bags had to be removed to an outside
hall, where they now remain, protected
from outside interference by nothing but
pine board partition. 1t has to be
guarded at all times by watcbmen
employed in the building, who are armed
with revolyers during the day and repeat
ing rifles during the night. Every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent its
being tampered with while in its exposed
condition. The count will last FIVE weeks
more and the silver cannot be returned
to the vault room until that lis concluded.
In the meantime work is being pushed
on the new silver vault authorized by
the last Congress. 1t will have storage
capacity for 1OO,O00,000 standard dol.
lars, and will probably be ready for use
in September.

"Wet and Dry" in Raleigh.

RALEiGR, June 14.-Last June Raj
eigh voted for the first time on the
question of prohibition, and declared in
its favor by So majority. Last week
another election on the same question
was held, and the Prohibitionists were
again victorious by 81 majority. The
law under which the election was held
provided against the sale of spirituous
liquors, but did not include beer or wine.
The Legislature, at its last session,
passed an Act making 1t unlawful to sell
spirituots, vihots OF malt liquors; but
this Act does not go into effect until July
next, so that the late election was held
under the old law.
Application was made last week to the
county commissioners by man in this
city for a license to sell beer and wine in
Raleigh. After long discussion this
was granted, although the city ordinance
forbids the issue of license until the
board of aldermen has permitted its
issue. As soon as the license was
obtained the sale of beer began and there
was great sensation, which instantly
divided the people into wet and dry fac
tions, and set them bitterly against each
other. The beer seller vas arrested and
taken before the mayor. He was held to
appear at the Superior Court. He tried
to take revenge on the Prohibitionists by
bringing shit against prominent mem.
Der of that party for $4,000 damages for
malicious prosecution. This only in
creased the anger of the Prohibitionists
and on Saturday the beer seller was again
arrested Oh the same charge. Herefused
to give bail and the mayor sent him to
the guardhouse. he applied for habeas
corpus and the writ was issued and made
returnable before the Supreme Court
yesterday afternoon, and it was then
argued at great length.
It was hoped that the Court would
decide one way or another as to whether
beer and wine were or were not spiritu-
ous liquors., but tho. Court did not do
so. This morning the Court, through
Chief Justice Smith, rendered
decision that the case must 60 to the
Superior Court and come up regularly.
Tie question cannot be settled before
next autumn, It is matter which con-
Germs over twenty cities and towns in
this State, and which attracts more atten-
tion than anything in many mouths.
The beer seller was ordered to suspend
business until the case is settled.

Judge Lyon and the Hon. j. f..
Bradley were among the excursionists to
Washington. While on the trip they
visited the battle-ground of Manassas.
They took the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road from Washington to Vienna, and
surveyed the camping ground at that
point. Thence they went by Flint Hill
to Fairfax Court House, and then by way
of Centerville to Manassas Junction. at
Mitchell's Ford they stood upon the
identical spot where they received their
"baptism of fire." The old breastworks
are almost intact. Every position could
easily be identifed.-A6beriNe Medium.
"A number of North Carolina towns
voted on the question Of prohibition last
Monday. Raleigh, Cameron and Dur.
ham went "dry," whilst Charlotte,
Oxford, Washington, Winston, Colds
boro, Louisburg and Henderson went
"wet." At Charlotte, prohibition was
defeated by 40 majority. Raleigh went
"dry" by majority of 81.

tricts simply result in the multiplication
of the people who live by "politics,"
There is little doubt, too, that not only
was the light wagon, for which America
is now famous, produced by the badness
of our roads, but it now helps to keep
the roads bad by diminishing, in the
public eye, the Inconvenience of them.
The wagon in which Americans delight,
and which no other nation has yet been
able to initiate, really gets over bad roads
almost as easily as a saddle or pack

an exaggeration to say that light wagon

shows more appreciation of the smooth,
hard park roads than the trotting men,
although they prefer the dirt road to
"speed" on; and they may be said to be
the only class Of the community to
whose needs or wishes attention in the
matter of road making has been paid.
The owners of heavy vehicles have been
left to get along as best they can, al

not pleasure. In 10 department of our
material progress, in fact, is there SO
